Description:
|
Wooden board, covered with velvet. There is a metal plate set with stones and enamels. The border has at the angles four large oval crystals. At top and bottom these are separated by strips of enamel bearing decorative designs. In the centre of each side is a similar strip. The remaining spaces in the sides are occupied by four panels of filigree work, set with stones, each panel containing seven: four in a row at the ends next to the enameled strips, a central one, and two others at the angles nearest to the large crystals. Three of these stones are engraved: one with a hand in relief (top left): another (top right) with a seated figure, face left, holding a lyre (intaglio): the third (bottom right) an intaglio of a bird, seated on a cushioned stool, with crossed legs, a staff diagonally set behind the bird. The central plate of gilt metal bears in relief figures of our Lord, bearded, with book, blessing, with cross nimbus: the Virgin on left, and John Baptist (fully robed, his upper garment hairy) on right. Discs, with the Evangelistic emblems, are at the angles.
